Chapter 250
For example, since [Pure White] was created by Chu Yuanqing, why didn't the authorities provide him with any living allowance?
Once you get to the bottom of this kind of problem, you have to go back to the background of the previous Worldline. For Little Cotton-padded Jacket who doesn't even know much about the current era, it's easy to blow up my CPU.
On the other hand, she doesn't want her daughter to know too much about the global crisis yet. Giving her a vague idea is fine, but continuing to investigate would only affect her mood and schedule later.
So let's take it slow. This trip has only been going on for a week, and there's still a month to go.
After that, everyone continued eating as usual.
During this time, the Little Cotton-padded Jacket quietly pinched Charlotte's sleeve and whispered an apology to her, seemingly feeling very guilty for wiping her tears on the older sister she had only just met.
Charlotte was completely charmed by her daughter. She couldn't help but kiss the girl's soft cheek and said with a smile, "That evens things out." She then immediately broke free from her previous gloom and continued to chat with Chu Wangshu, forgetting about her old comrade-in-arms whom she hadn't seen for many years.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Green Eyed Cat sat down next to Chu Yuanqing. She hugged the arm of the Pure White Witch, looked at Charlotte warily, and tried to cheer herself up.
Liuli, don't be afraid. You've seen through this wicked woman's tactics completely! She's just trying to win over Xiao Shu and indirectly increase Xiao Qing's favorability!
Hmph, she's used this trick before. As Xiao Shu's teammate, childhood idol, industry senior, and trustworthy and reliable friend, her advantages are boundless. She can practically shout "win win win!" in advance!
Tang Liuli took a sip of Juzi juice, not worried at all about her position being shaken. So what if Charlotte was a succubus? They were all girls. Could she really win over Xiao Shu in just one meal?
The Green Eyed Cat completely forgot how embarrassing it was to call Charlotte "sister" and began to skillfully use the mental victory method. It decided to use today's Magic Replenishment day and the power of its kissing cake to bewitch Qing Bao!
As for the useless Little Sakura and the golden retriever?
Hehe, these two idiots are still spacing out right now. In the future, the only place they can fit in the corner at any music party!
Chu Yuanqing filled Liuli's juice glass to prevent her from secretly drinking, and then thoughtfully served her food. She enjoyed the warm atmosphere of eating with everyone, just as Charlotte had said, this dinner was no different from a family gathering.
Seeing this, Little Sakura temporarily ignored the strange feeling in her heart. She looked at Charlotte, who had completely integrated into the group as if she had known her for a long time, and began to think about a crucial question.
That is, according to yesterday's plan, they were supposed to go to Salzburg tomorrow. Chen Xiaoxiao had already helped them book the itinerary and tickets. The flight was at 9:30 in the morning. But what if Xiao Qing didn't want to go after Charlotte's sudden attack?
Xie Qingxuan was also considering the possibility that the Pure White Witch had been kidnapped. She already had the idea of going up with Liuli to lock her on that bed to prevent her from being stolen by Charlotte. While eating, she was thinking about how to persuade the Green Eyed Cat to have a threesome.
Time passed, and it was eight o'clock in the evening.
The Little Idol emerged from the Twelve Apostles Cellar, almost all of them quite tipsy from Charlotte. Even the Green Eyed Cat, who was supposed to sit at the children's table, had a little bit of wine in his juice.
Chu Yuanqing was tasked with acting as a cane for the Green Eyed Cat. The child seemed to be drunk and didn't even have the strength to speak. He just clung softly to me, looking very docile.
Xie Qingxuan was very sober, while Little Sakura, who always had the demeanor of a captain, was thinking too much and didn't pay attention to her alcohol tolerance. She was a little unsteady on her feet and needed the other person's support.
Chu Wangshu also drank a little bit. She wasn't pressured to drink, but she was inexplicably happy today, so she drank two more cups than Liuli. Now she was very sleepy and was leaning against the Doomsday Diva's arms. Her curly eyelashes drooped down, and her cheeks were flushed, making one want to pinch them.
Chu Yuanqing was worried that Charlotte would take advantage of Xiao Shu's drunkenness to lift him up high, but it seems that he was quite restrained. He simply put his hands under Xiao Shu's arms and legs and gave him a beautiful princess carry, which looked quite elegant.
The Pure White Witch took this photo with her phone and smiled.
Xiao Shu really likes her mother. Even though she didn't recognize her, she quickly developed an attachment to Charlotte.
Otherwise... given this child's personality, even when drunk, he wouldn't be so relaxed, clinging to someone's chest.
Charlotte gazed at her daughter's features, a beaming smile on her face, a look of profound satisfaction on her face:
"She's such a lovely child. Just like you said, she's a little too mature for her age, making it hard to know how to take good care of her."
Chu Yuanqing looked up at the Milky Way in the night sky. There were an unusually large number of stars tonight, making the moonlight shine even brighter. Today was her last day in Vienna, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would be the last time she saw the night view here.
The Pure White Witch was silent for a moment, then said softly:
"Does Charlotte think giving Yaoshi to Xiao Shu was the right choice?"
Although Charlotte didn't say it, unlike the gifts given to others, the jeweled ribbon that Xiao Shu received clearly had the same aura as the lantern.
The Doomsday Diva blinked and answered confidently:
"Of course, isn't that what you think too? Otherwise, you should have secretly picked it by now."
"Besides, even if I don't send her anything, as our daughter, the Planet Consciousness favors her greatly, and she'll become Magical Girl sooner or later even without the obsidian."
Charlotte's reason was simple: she could see the longing in Chu Wangshu's heart. This child longed to help his Dad and also loved the shimmering light that came from magic.
Given this, how could I, as a mother, not respond?
This is just a gemstone. It may have great Strategic Value in the eyes of the authorities, but in her eyes it is just a toy to amuse her daughter. Besides, Chu Wangshu was qualified to have it.
Chu Yuanqing didn't say much. She looked at the Little Cotton-padded Jacket's sleeping face, a serene and gentle smile appearing on her face, and whispered to herself:
"You'll probably shine even brighter after becoming Magical Girl."
"But to me, Xiao Shu, my daughter, you are already the moon in the sky."
PS: Tomorrow is the Magic Replenishment round.
P. S.: It's the last day of the month, so please use your monthly passes and free razor blades if you still have any!
Volume 1: Chapter 238. Qing Bao in a Cat-Ear Apron, A Series of Social Deaths, A Music Party. (6K)
Hotel Sacher.
The Little Idol returned to their rooms one after another.
After taking a shower, Xie Qingxuan hung up her sister's phone as usual and then lay down on the bed to charge her phone.
Well, because Master Liuli was in a state of extreme heat after getting drunk, and also had the "unnecessary to negotiate" buff applied, she decided not to be a blonde-haired girl today, but instead went online to learn how to seduce Qing Bao.
Although she's the least sexually active of the Little Idol, because she has zero experience in this area, the poses she strikes on the bed, without the added allure of her costumes, are less seductive than when she's dancing normally.
The Golden Haired Doggy decided to learn humbly. After being bombarded with information today, her rapidly increasing sense of déjà vu and fragmented memories made her cleverly shed her feminine restraints and begin searching for erotic content that boys preferred.
Yes, instinctively, she felt that this would please Qing Bao more!
After returning to her room and taking a shower, Kiriwake Yayoi felt even more dizzy. She quickly folded a few origami cranes, sat on the bed, applied body lotion, set an alarm on her phone, touched her rosy, tender face, lay down on the soft bed, hugged her pillow, and went to sleep, preparing to catch her flight the next morning.
In the dream, those memories that had seemed distant before suddenly appeared, as if a barrier had been removed, surfacing on the surface of consciousness along with the lit [Cocoon of the Heart]. This gradually brought the fragmented images of the past into order, and the first half of the Witch's life began to become increasingly clear...
Meanwhile, Charlotte was taking the Little Cotton-padded Jacket back to her room.
The young mother wiped her daughter's face with a towel, changed her into pajamas, covered her with a blanket, and lovingly gave her a kiss on the forehead before renting a suite next door. She gave the Pure White Witch a wink as a temporary farewell, hummed a cheerful tune, and went out to buy things by herself.
Chu Yuanqing wanted to go back to her room to take a shower, but was clinging to the arm by the drunken, sunny cat, who stared at her with big, watery eyes.
Tang Liuli's emerald green eyes were filled with mist, brimming with longing and joy. The beauty mark at the corner of her eye was tinged from the burn, and her expression was somewhat dazed from being drunk. Her slightly chubby face was smeared with rouge, and her moist lips were pouting in a daze, making her look very cute.
The Green Eyed Cat hugged the Pure White Witch, abandoning all her usual modesty, and shamelessly let her arms sink into her youthful fullness. She followed her into the bathroom step by step, and upon seeing the familiar little duck, happily exclaimed:
"The bathtub is so big! Xiao Qing, come and take a bath with me!"
Before Chu Yuanqing could reply, the girl was already unbuttoning her clothes, and in no time, a thin dress appeared on the ground.
The Pure White Witch couldn't stop the incredibly capable Sunny Cat in time, so she simply made Liuli, who was wearing undergarments, sit obediently on a small stool and stuffed the rubber duck into her arms, trying to temporarily calm the Little Idol down.
Then, she turned on the warm bathroom heater and filled the bathtub with water. Looking at the somewhat erotic scene in the room, she felt a little ashamed as she put her fingers on her clothes buttons. The little angel and little devil inside her started fighting again.
Although... although Charlotte said she didn't mind, it still seemed a bit too strange that she would take a bath with other girls right after they left!
Chu Yuanqing's moral compass is facing a terrifying challenge, while Liuli Cat Cat, embracing a duck, has already crawled into the bathtub.
This child prodigy even started playing with the toy crab that her Golden Haired Doggy had given her. She clapped and sang happily as she watched it spin and blow bubbles on the water's surface, looking silly.
Chu Yuanqing began to think that Liuli hadn't drunk enough wine. If she had drunk more, she would have fallen asleep immediately instead of feeling dizzy for a while and being full of energy as soon as she got to the hotel.
Liuli now looks so healthy, with a beauty that's like a regular menstrual cycle. She's perfectly capable of skating freely at the roller skating rink, and might even have the energy to go hiking or skydiving.
Tang Liuli looked at the Pure White Witch was only half-undressed, her eyes sparkling, and said expectantly:
"Xiao Qing, let's play doctor game!"
Chu Yuanqing felt that this doctor game was definitely not legitimate, but she had no proof, so she could only look warily at the wet cat to prevent it from launching a surprise attack.
But after only a few seconds of hesitation,
The girl's emerald green eyes welled up with tears. She stopped singing and playing with the rubber duck, and the infectious smile on her cute face vanished. She pouted sadly and said:
"Does Xiao Qing like Sister Charlotte, so she doesn't want Liuli anymore?"
Chu Yuanqing was devastated. She couldn't remember many things about Liuli, but she still couldn't bear to see her crying. At that moment, she felt like a terrible person, being thoroughly manipulated by Sunny Cat.
Tang Liuli lowered her eyelashes in disappointment and asked in a low voice:
"Xiao Qing has been doing naughty things with Yayoi and Yayoi lately, but she won't kiss me. Does that mean she doesn't like me anymore?"
Chu Yuanqing felt as if she were looking at a heartbroken, tearful cat. She felt guilty and ashamed. It had been a while since she had kissed Liuli. In terms of the optimization progress of [Cocoon of the Heart], the Green Eyed Cat had quietly fallen far behind.
There was no way around it; Little Sakura's Paper Crane Can was very useful, allowing the Pure White Witch to overcome her sense of transgression and try to take the initiative a few times.
The golden-haired scoundrel stole Liuli's astonishing wisdom and also stole one of her mana Magic Replenishment days. The despicable yellow-haired guy made red wine soup twice in a row, and even added props to the last time. He relied on both quality and quantity to achieve a high-end drifting overtake.
Chu Yuanqing was so caught up in the trick that she forgot all shame. She quickly removed the binding fabric with her small hands, revealing the delicate white jade-like skin. She covered her overflowing spring scenery and also soaked in the bath.
The girl's exquisitely beautiful face, like that of a doll, revealed its dazzling white hair and golden eyes after she deliberately removed the magic concealment. Her golden eyes, like melted amber, were filled with an alluring sweetness. She looked intently at the other person, her petal-like lips moving slightly as she comforted them:
"I really like Liuli, I always have."
"If Liuli feels neglected, I will try my best to make it up to her."
The Pure White Witch's signature straight shot.
Tang Liuli's teary-eyed appearance vanished instantly. She had been somewhat using her mischievous nature to her advantage, but now, faced with such a terrifyingly beautiful and direct attack, she could no longer maintain her facade. Even the hazy feeling brought on by alcohol created a huge void as her blood rushed through her veins.
The little girl shifted her position in the bath like a cat, curling up and burrowing into the magnificent bosom of the Pure White Witch. She cunningly turned, resting her head near Chu Yuanqing's collarbone, and blinked her eyes as she spoke:
"Then help me take a bath? I feel so dizzy."
Chu Yuanqing looked at the strange scene that resembled a game CG, pursed her lips in embarrassment, and couldn't help but complain about why the hotel bathtub was bigger than the dormitory bathtub. She tried hard not to look at the scenery in her field of vision, but she could still see the girl's fair neck tinged with pink, and the strands of black hair stuck together.
Although Liuli is the petite one in the group, her development is not poor relative to her size. In fact, she has the healthiest curves and lines among them, which perfectly matches the current sunny cat vibe.
Simply put, it has a kind of beauty reminiscent of Greek sculptures, and it can be a bit risqué.
Chu Yuanqing kept a straight face and tried to find an excuse to say:
"Um, it's not a good place to apply shower gel in the bathtub. Why don't you sit on a chair and apply Liuli before coming in, Ruri?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl who seemed to be falling asleep in his arms stood up somewhat groggily. Her face was flushed, and she looked like she was about to fall over.
Chu Yuanqing hurriedly supported Liuli's waist and calves to prevent her from falling. Liuli immediately lowered her head in shame, but caught a glimpse of the water overflowing the pool and breaking apart in the ripples. She felt that something big was going to happen today.
"Xiao Qing, help me apply it."
Tang Liuli half-closed her eyes; she was genuinely sleepy and absentmindedly extended the invitation, completely unaware of how tempting this was to tempt someone to commit a crime.
Chu Yuanqing calculated the time it would take for Charlotte to return and decided to finish quickly. She closed her eyes, using magic to replace her senses, picked up a bath sponge with her small hand, squeezed out some of the scented shower gel that Liuli had given her, rubbed it to create a lot of white bubbles, and began to apply it.
The girl's slender back was quickly rubbed several times. She obediently raised her legs, and after her abdomen was rubbed by the bath sponge, she seemed to feel itchy and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and laugh out loud, looking exceptionally cute.
"Splash, thud..."
Halfway through the bath, Tang Liuli seemed to feel itchy, so she simply sat back on the Pure White Witch's lap. The bubbles on her body rose and fell in the hot water and steam, and the little yellow duck swayed back and forth in the rippling water. She didn't mention helping with the bath anymore and just stared blankly into space.
Chu Yuanqing was a little unaccustomed to the sudden quiet of the Green Eyed Cat. She put the bath sponge aside and decided to let Liuli soak for a while longer before getting her dressed and going out, otherwise she might become a fool from soaking in the water.
Tang Liuli lay in the arms of the Pure White Witch, enjoying the tranquility of her empty mind. She closed her eyes, her consciousness churning. In the blissful peace, she suddenly remembered the stench of blood that filled her nose and the chill that permeated her soul when she lay in snowdrifts, ruins, valleys, mountains of corpses, and many other places.
That warmth was different from soaking in the bathtub and lying in Xiao Qing's arms; it was a grayish, cold, and desolate loneliness that slowly lost its heat in despair and returned to deathly silence.
But every single time, she would see the boy who had traveled from afar at the end, see his silence, his sorrow, his anger, and his tears that would gradually dry up and never reappear.
Tang Liuli was somewhat bewildered. She heard a sigh that seemed to distort time, and in a hazy state amidst the intertwining of her senses, she was suddenly struck by a sudden inspiration. Her lips moved, and she uttered a whisper that even she herself could not understand:
"Xiao Qing, are you Xiao Qing?"
Chu Yuanqing's expression froze for a moment. She thought she had been recognized. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly:
"Yes, that's me."
But after she finished speaking, the kitten in her arms closed its eyes, as if it had fallen asleep.
Chu Yuanqing waited for the other party to continue asking questions, but after waiting for a while, she found that Liuli was already fast asleep. She found it a little funny, but couldn't help feeling complicated.
To be honest, after Charlotte's experience, she no longer expected this body to be able to conceal her true identity as Chu Yuanqing.
After all, the fact that Yayoi, Kiyohyun, and Liuli developed feelings for me so quickly, even falling in love with me, is more or less related to the previous Worldline.
Most obviously, when Little Sakura recalled that Kagura Dance and revived [Heart Forging], the emotions she remembered were almost entirely based on intuition, which locked onto herself, making the Magic Replenishment effect even better.
Similarly, Xie Qingxuan is the same.
